2 Best Bars in Provence, France

Enjoy drinks in this dark, intimate space just outside the Utopia movie theater in La Manutention arts center.

Although Arles seems like one big sidewalk café in warm weather, the best place to drink is at the hip bar-restaurant Patio de Camargue, with its great location on the banks of the Rhône. It serves terrific tapas, and you can hear guitar music and watch traditional dance from Chico and Los Gypsies, led by a founding member of the Gypsy Kings. Reservations are a good idea in high season.
